Oracle8 Migration Release 8.0 A58243-01 |
This chapter covers the steps that must be completed before you migrate a production database. Steps 1 through 3 of the migration process, outlined in Chapter 1, "Migration Overview", are covered in detail in this chapter:
The information in this chapter is generic and applies generally to version 7 and version 6 production databases.
See Also:
Oracle8 Replication, Appendix B, "Migration and Compatibility", if you are migrating a pre-version 8 database system that has Advanced Replication installed. |
This step includes the following actions, which are covered in detail in the following sections:
Before you plan the migration process, become familiar with the new features of the version 8 database. Getting to Know Oracle8 and the Oracle8 Enterprise Edition is a good starting point for learning the differences between a version 8 RDBMS and a release 7.3 RDBMS.
See Also:
Oracle8 Parallel Server Concepts and Administration, if you are using the Parallel Server option, for changes in Parallel Server. |
Use one of these three methods to migrate a database to version 8:
summarizes these methods and lists their advantages and disadvantages.
Table 2-1 Advantages and Disadvantages of Migration Methods
The following sections describe each of the migration methods in detail, covering the relative amounts of time and space they require and the situations in which they are appropriate.
The Migration Utility converts files and structures in the version 7 source database to version 8 format, changing only the file headers and, if necessary, the definitions of the data in the files. The Migration Utility does not change the data portions of the datafiles, nor their format and content.
The primary advantages of using the Migration Utility are speed and ease of use. The Migration Utility takes significantly less time than Export/Import, and its use entails a standardized series of specific, easy steps. In addition, the time required to migrate a database with the Migration Utility depends less on the size of the database than on the number of objects in the data dictionary.
The Migration Utility is especially useful for quickly migrating an entire source database. Unlike Export/Import, the Migration Utility cannot selectively migrate specific datafiles. However, for databases with large amounts of data, large datatypes, and some other version 7 features, the Migration Utility may be the only practical tool for migration to version 8.
The Migration Utility requires only enough temporary space in the SYSTEM tablespace to hold both the version 7 (source) and version 8 (target) data dictionaries simultaneously.
The Migration Utility converts the entire database, including database files, rollback segments, and the control file(s). At any point before actually migrating the version 7 database, you can open and access data with the version 7 instance. However, once the Migration Utility has migrated the version 7 source database to version 8, you can go back to version 7 only by restoring a full backup of the version 7 source database.
See Also:
Chapter 3, "Migrating Using the Migration Utility", for detailed information about using the Migration Utility. |
Unlike the Migration Utility, the Export/Import utilities physically copy data in the source database to a new database. The source database's Export Utility copies specified parts of the source database into an export file. Then, the version 8 Import Utility loads the exported data into the new version 8 database. However, the new version 8 target database already must exist before the export file can be migrated into it.
The following sections discuss aspects of Export/Import operations that may help you to decide whether to use Export/Import for migrating your database.
See Also:
Chapter 4, "Migrating Using Export/Import", and also Oracle8 Utilities, for more information about using Export/Import for migration. |
The Export/Import method of migration does not change the source database, enabling the source database to remain available throughout the migration process; however, if a consistent snapshot of the database is required (for data integrity or other purposes), the source database must run in restricted mode or must otherwise be protected from changes during the export procedure. Because the source database can remain available, you can, for example, allow an existing version 7 production database to continue running while the new version 8 database is being built at the same time by Export/Import. During this migration, to maintain complete database consistency, changes to the data in the version 7 database cannot be permitted without the same changes to the data in the version 8 database.
The Export/Import method also can be used to upgrade or downgrade. For example, the transformation of a version 8 database back into a version 7, release 7.3 database can be accomplished using Export/Import.
Most importantly, the Export/Import operation results in a completely new database. Although the source database ultimately contains a copy of the specified data, the migrated database may perform differently from the original source database. As a result of data defragmentation, database restructuring by the DBA, or the upgrade to version 8, expect changes in performance, data growth patterns, shared resource usage, data dictionary size, and object organization.
Careful planning, expert implementation, and rigorous testing are required to take advantage of the possible positive effects of Export/Import on the database; otherwise, the database changes may create problems. If the database was restructured during migration, and the migrated database behaves differently, it may be difficult to determine the cause of the differences.
Data migration by Export/Import offers the following benefits:
Data migration by Export/Import has following limitations:
Migrating an entire database by Export/Import can take a long time, especially compared with using the Migration Utility. Therefore, you may need to schedule the migration during non-peak hours or make provisions for propagating to the new target database any changes that are made to the source database during the migration.
The time and system resources (particularly disk space) required for Export/Import migration depend on DBA skill, database size, and the type of data to be migrated, particularly the number, size, and type of indexes that must be rebuilt.
For example, a relatively simple 6-gigabyte, version 7 database was migrated to version 8 using the Migration Utility in about an hour. The same version 7 database was exported, producing a single 2-gigabyte export dump file. To import that one export dump file took 20 hours. The complete migration using the steps described in "Migrate the Pre-Version 8 Source Database Using Export/Import" on page 4-3 took two days.
Consider the following factors related to the extended time required to migrate a database by Export/Import:
When importing data from an earlier version, the version 8 Import Utility makes appropriate changes to data definitions as it reads earlier versions' export dump files. That is, it handles dump files produced by the Export utilities of Oracle version 6, version 7, and version 8. If the export source database is earlier than version 6, the source database must first be upgraded to at least version 6 before the export is performed.
You can copy data from one Oracle database to another Oracle database using database links. For example, you can copy data from a source database table to a target database table with the SQL*Plus COPY command, or you can create new tables in a target database and fill the tables with data from the source database by using the INSERT INTO command, the CREATE TABLE ... FROM command, and the CREATE TABLE ... AS command.
Copying data and Export/Import offer the same advantages for migration. Using either method, you can defragment data files and restructure the database by creating new tablespaces or modifying existing tables or tablespaces. In addition, you can migrate only specified database objects or users.
Copying data, however, unlike Export/Import, allows the selection of specific rows of tables to be placed into the target database. Copying data is thus a good method for migrating only part of a database table. In contrast, using the Export/Import utilities to migrate data from version 7 to version 8, you can migrate only entire tables.
For example, to create a new table (NEW_EMP) that contains a subset of the data in an existing table (EMP@V7DB, only the employees in departments 10, 20, and 30), you can use the following SQL statement:
Copying data requires less disk space and memory buffer space for migration than Export/Import because copying data requires only that the source database and the target database both are online. There is no need to allocate large amounts of extra space for temporary files or for Export dump files.
The SQL COPY command is useful for working with large clustered tables. Further, the SQL*Plus COPY command can move portions of the cluster in parallel using Net8 (or SQL*Net). For more information about copying data from one database to another, refer to the CREATE TABLE command in the Oracle8 SQL Reference and to the COPY command in the SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference.
Estimate the system resources required for successful migration. Different migration methods may result in different resource requirements; therefore, if you are not certain of the method you want to use, complete an estimate for each potential method of migrating the existing database to version 8.
Consider the following factors in your estimates:
See Also:
Appendix E, "General System Requirements for Migration", and your platform-specific Installation Guide, for details about system requirements. |
After you have chosen a migration method and estimated your requirements, secure the necessary resources for a successful migration.
If you plan to use the Migration Utility, the earliest release supported by the Migration Utility is platform-specific. For example, on some platforms, the Migration Utility cannot migrate a release lower than version 7, release 7.1.4 (such as version 6, release 7.0, or release 7.1.3). See your platform-specific Oracle documentation for the supported releases on your platform.
If your database release number is lower than the release supported by the Migration Utility on your platform, upgrade or migrate the database to the required release. Use Oracle7 Server Migration, Release 7.3 to migrate or upgrade the system to the required release. Then, use this Oracle8 Migration manual to migrate to version 8.
You can save time by eliminating common migration problems before you migrate your database. Common problem areas include the following:
The ultimate success of your migration depends strongly on the design and execution of an appropriate backup strategy. To develop a backup strategy, consider the following questions:
Your backup strategy should answer all of these questions and include procedures for successfully backing up and recovering your database.
You need a series of carefully designed tests to validate all stages of the migration process. Executed rigorously and completed successfully, these tests ensure that the process of migrating the production database is well understood, predictable, and successful. Perform as much testing as possible before migrating the production database. Do not underestimate the importance of a test program.
The testing plan must include the following types of tests:
Migration testing entails planning and testing the migration path from the source database to the migrated database, whether you use the Migration Utility, Export/Import, or other data-copying methods to migrate the production database data to the target database. These methods are discussed in Chapter 3, "Migrating Using the Migration Utility" and Chapter 4, "Migrating Using Export/Import".
Regardless of the migration method you choose, you must establish, test, and validate a migration plan.
Minimal testing entails moving all or part of an application on the source database to the target database and running the application without enabling any new, target database features. Minimal testing is a very limited type of testing that may not reveal potential issues that may appear in a "real-world" production environment. However, minimal testing will reveal any application startup or invocation problems immediately.
Functional testing is a set of tests in which new and existing functionality of the system are tested after migration. Functional testing includes all components of the RDBMS system, networking, and application components. The objective of functional testing is to verify that each component of the system functions as it did before migrating and to verify that new functions are working properly.
Integration testing examines the interaction of each component of the system. Consider the following factors when you plan your integration testing:
Performance testing of a target database compares the performance of various SQL statements in the target database with the statements' performance in the source database. Before migrating, you should understand the performance profile of the application under the source database. Specifically, you should understand the calls the application makes to the database kernel.
See Also:
Oracle8 Tuning for information about tuning. To thoroughly understand the application's performance profile under the source database, enable SQL_TRACE and profile with TKPROF. |
Volume and load stress testing tests the entire migrated database under high volume and loads. (Volume describes the amount of data being manipulated. Load describes the level of concurrent demand on the system.) The objective of volume and load testing is to emulate how a production system might behave under various volumes and loads.
Volume and load stress testing is crucial, but is commonly overlooked. Oracle Corporation has found that customers often do not conduct any kind of volume or load stress testing. Instead, customers often rely on benchmarks that do not characterize business applications. Benchmarks of the application should be conducted to uncover problems relating to functionality, performance, and integration, but they cannot replace volume and load stress testing.
After you migrate the source database, you should test the data to ensure that all data is accessible and that the applications function properly. You should also determine whether any database tuning is necessary. If possible, you should automate these testing procedures.
The testing plan should reflect the work performed at the site. You should test the functionality and performance of all applications on the source production databases. Gather performance statistics for both normal and peak usage.
Include the following tests in your testing plan:
Collecting this information will help you compare the source database with the migrated target database.
Use EXPLAIN PLAN on both the source and target databases to determine the execution plan Oracle follows to execute each SQL statement. Use the INTO parameter to save this information in tables.
After migrating, you can compare the execution plans of the migrated database with the execution plans of the source database. If there is a difference, execute the command on the migrated database and compare the performance with the performance of the command executed on the source database.
Create a test environment that will not interfere with the current production database. Your test environment will depend on the migration method you have chosen:
Practice migrating the database using the test environment. The best migration test, if possible, is performed on an exact copy of the database to be migrated, rather than on a downsized copy or test data.
Make sure you upgrade any OCI and precompiler applications that you plan to use with your version 8 database. Then, you can test these applications on a sample Oracle database before migrating your production database. See "Upgrading Precompiler and OCI Applications" on page 6-2 for more information.
Perform the planned tests on the version 7 source database and on the test database that you migrated to version 8. Compare the results, noting anomalies. Repeat Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3 described in this chapter as necessary.
Test the newly migrated version 8 test database with existing applications to verify that they operate properly with a migrated version 8 database. You also might test enhanced functionality by adding features that use the available version 8 functionality. However, first make sure that the applications operate in the same manner as they did in the source database.

A pulsated weak-resonant-cavity laser diode with transient wavelength scanning and tracking for injection-locked RZ transmission |
Optics Express, Vol. 20, Issue 13, pp. 13622-13635 (2012)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (2496 KB)
By spectrally slicing a single longitudinal-mode from a master weak-resonant-cavity Fabry-Perot laser diode with transient wavelength scanning and tracking functions, the broadened self-injection-locking of a slave weak-resonant-cavity Fabry-Perot laser diode is demonstrated to achieve bi-directional transmission in a 200-GHz array-waveguide-grating channelized dense-wavelength-division-multiplexing passive optical network system. Both the down- and up-stream slave weak-resonant-cavity Fabry-Perot laser diodes are non-return-to-zero modulated below threshold and coherently injection-locked to deliver the pulsed carrier for 25-km bi-directional 2.5 Gbits/s return-to-zero transmission. The master weak-resonant-cavity Fabry-Perot laser diode is gain-switched at near threshold condition and delivers an optical coherent pulse-train with its mode linewidth broadened from 0.2 to 0.8 nm by transient wavelength scanning, which facilitates the broadband injection-locking of the slave weak-resonant-cavity Fabry-Perot laser diodes with a threshold current reducing by 10 mA. Such a transient wavelength scanning induced spectral broadening greatly releases the limitation on wavelength injection-locking range required for the slave weak-resonant-cavity Fabry-Perot laser diode. The theoretical modeling and numerical simulation on the wavelength scanning and tracking effects of the master and slave weak-resonant-cavity Fabry-Perot laser diodes are performed. The receiving power sensitivity for back-to-back transmission at bit-error-rate <10−10 is −25.6 dBm, and the power penalty added after 25-km transmission is less than 2 dB for all 16 channels.

Abstract: | An integrated system for biohydrogen production and separation was designed, constructed and operated where biohydrogen was fermented by Thermococcus litoralis, a heterotrophic archaebacterium, and a two-step gas separation process was coupled to recover and concentrate hydrogen. A special liquid seal system was built to deliver, compress and collect the laboratory scale, low volume gas mixtures consisting of hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. As a result, gas mixture with 73% high hydrogen content was produced by a combination of a porous and a non-porous gas separation membrane. |

Hydrate: First things first – drink water! Drinking alcohol dehydrates your body, causing your skin to lose its firmness and dewy appearance. It also causes blood flow to be directed away from your skin and to your vital organs, so your skin has poorer circulation. All of these result in that dry, dullness you see in the mirror. So, load up on that H2O!
Reduce puffy eyes: While good old tea bags will do the trick, cold spoons will give you that aaah feeling. Place two spoons in your freezer for about ten minutes, then hold the back of them your eyes for about five minutes. You'll see the puffyness decrease and look more awake.
Perk up your skin: After you wash your face, lock in some moisture – Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief is like a tall glass of water for your skin. It gets rid of dryness and flakyness and comes in a cream/gel or a spray that you can spritz on throughout the day for a pick-me-up, without disturbing your makeup.
Makeup: Layer on mascara and line your upper lids to draw attention away from redness in the whites of your eyes. A touch of highlighter on the inner corners of your eye will make them look brighter.
Sweep a highlighter or a shimmery bronzer over your cheekbones and along your T-zone to give your skin a subtle glow.
A bold, creamy lip color will not only distract from tired eyes and dullness, it will add some dewyness to your look.
Have happy skin for the holidays!

| Re: Redskins Insider: Draft Review Dudes, Jason LaConfora is the most negative dude in the world. I like him most of the time, but he pisses me off with posts like that. Let's see how it unfolds before you bring up your conspiracy theories about falling recievers on certain peoples draft boards. |

| Re: Redskins Insider: Draft Review Malcolm Kelly looks like a player to me. From the limited stuff I've seen on him I don't think the Skins were merely pulling stuff out of thin air here. Fred Davis also looks like a player, though this pick is probably the one to watch. If Calais Campbell is a beast it might get tough to justify this pick, even if Davis is productive. If Campbell isn't all that great then passing on him might look better. Another spin JLC could have put on this would be to compare it to the 2002 Eagles draft where they got Lito Sheppard, Michael Lewis, and Sheldon Brown in the first two rounds even though they still had a couple of Pro Bowlers at corner. Many have long said that the Eagles are one of the franchises that 'does things right' and they got those guys in there, moved out higher priced players in subsequent seasons, and reloaded their roster. Since the Redskins are only going to be paying these guys 2nd round money they are really going to be coming in on the cheap. They will also have some time to develop behind some proven starters, which is imperative for most young WRs. I do think the Philadelphia example is apt, though, and it might also be worth mentioning that among those WRs that Snyder 'coveted', Moss and Braylon Edwards and probably Calvin Johnson all have turned out to be pretty good players.

| Re: Redskins Insider: Draft Review His column should have read like this... "Draft Review Anyone who tries to tell you they can judge a draft immediately is full on bunk. So I'll shut up now." And that's it. Like I said last week, I heard a rumor that he'll be gone as RI in the next couple of months. I really really hope that rumor is true. Maybe he can go get a job as Earnest Byner's cabana boy.

| Re: Redskins Insider: Draft Review I agree. I'll value Mel Kiper Jr opinion and his 30 years of draft coverage and researsh before JLC throws the front office under the bus for this past weekend. Kiper gave us a B+ grade, second only to the 'A' earned by the Chiefs which I think everyone would agree had the best draft, at least the best Day 1 |

| Re: Redskins Insider: Draft Review Bottom line... If the Redskins do not score 30 points a game EVERY game, this draft will be completely fruitless. Lets look at this from an offensive standpoint for a second... They LOVE Lorenzo Alexander, Stephon Heyer, and now have a solid RG-RT from the draft. They still have Clinton Portis and Ledell Betts. Now, they have one of the best TE's in the draft, arguably the best game changing receiver and KR threat, and another big body in Malcolm Kelly. ARE wont be around come 2011, and Moss may be on his way out as well. This was a great pickup, with SUPERIOR pass catchers the west coast offense can flourish. I can only imagine set running plays with Mix, Kelly, Cooley and Davis all at wing spots within the lineup. We can become highly dynamic, and possibly turn into the greatest show on grass. Lets face it, Tryon has the attitude and strength to become a strong defensive playmaker. Kareem Moore can easily beat out Doughty. I think Caleb Campbell, Craig Steltz or Jonathan Hefney would have been better pickups, but I trust Blache. I hope Erin Henderson is within our RFA group and maybe Erik Ainge and Jamar Adams... All in all I think Rob Jackson could be a poor man's justin tuck, and I truly love the Fred Davis pick... |

| Re: Redskins Insider: Draft Review Man, he really has a bug up his ass for DS and VC. It seems like they can do no right. Part of me hopes the WR's and TE burn it up just watch him twist. I got no feelings one way or another for the guy but some of his ill-will seems a little over the top. There are some legitimate criticisms but, jeez, it's not like this wasn't an area of need where top talent was available. Yes. They took a bit of a gamble - gambles have down sides, deal with it. Should we have spent more on defense, I dunno we have been pretty defensive oriented the last few drafts and, as a result, offensive depth has suffered.

| Re: Redskins Insider: Draft Review agree they will not score 30 points/game next year but YOU CANNOT DENY the fact that everything they have done from the moment Gibbs retired to the present time has been focused to jumpstart the offense. From the firing of Saunders and the hiring of Zorn, the the proclomation that Campbell is the starter and bringing in all those offensive draftees. I know the defensive is getting old but lets cmon they were solid last year, really no chnage in philosophy and we did strenghten the secondary. I do think that 2008 will be an improvement in the offense but it will take at least a full year for the team to digest the new offense and for the new kids to get their feet wet. |

| Re: Redskins Insider: Draft Review I was debating whether to create another thread with this but it seems like the best forum for it right here. I felt the same way about the JLC blog post this morning when I read it so I sent him an e-mail. He's always been cool about replying to my e-mails so I figured I'd give it a shot.. Here's what I sent and I italicized his response. Despite how you feel about his writing or stance, he's a stand-up dude IMO. JLC- First of all, thanks for all that you do and the diligent work that you put in to keep us informed year round on all things Redskins! I do however have to point out that Ive been troubled by your tone on your recent posts. While you arent a fan (nor should you be as a journalist) there is a decidedly more negative/bitter tone towards many things in your blog since the coaching search. Im not deluded enough to think that Danny and Vinny are above reproach or are right all or even most of the time, but Im willing to let this play out with Zorn without the gloom and doom that accompanies your recent postings. My concern is that people will stop reading the blog because they dont want to always read the negative tone and the Post will eliminate it for lack of traffic. Ill continue to tune in to the blog postings and thanks again for all of your efforts!! Hail. JLC Response: Thanks so much for taking the time to write, John. Awesome of you to do so. I'm just trying to hold them accountable and see if their words match their deeds, as they ask the fans to pay gobs of money for this product but are generally less than forthcoming or truthful to these same fans. When they do something positive - lkike trading down, etc - I'm never shy to say so. And if they make puzzling and unusual moves - which pretty much defines the last 4 months - then I detail why succesful front offices and people around the league found those moves odd and potentially troubling to the fans here. Lately, the weird has outweighed all else and without gibbs there and just snyder and cerrato running the show they are going to be evaluated every so closely. Neither has anything close to a sparkling track record, and in my opinion warrant a critical look as they make major decisions that will shape the franchise. Thanks again for reading the blog and sending the email. I will definitely keep your words in mind. Cheers

| Re: Redskins Insider: Draft Review He is a standup guy and will respond to most emails. I just wish he could outline what he did like about the Redskins draft. It just seems odd when most draft experts are giving the Redskins a good grade and here's JLC tearing them a new one. |

Upload Your Photo » Similar ProductsAlternate 'Blue Contact Lenses' ChoicesCustomer ReviewsBy ljdlite from Seattle, Washington 24 October 2011 Avatar yellow contacts great product. I opted for the free delivery and just prayed that my contacts come in time for my Halloween party and they did!!!! The contacts aren't fitted perfectly, but what do you expect for contacts that are one size fit most, i have small asian eyes :) I will definetely order again in the future. Also I love the vials that the contacts came in. By Anonymous 12 October 2011 Dark w/ dark eyes Bought these looking for a really light blue color contact. I have very dark brown eyes. They turned out looking more turquoise once in my eyes than the pale sky blue shown on the website. By Chelsie from Miami, FL 20 September 2011 These contacts are amazing. I have astigmatism so normally I have to order toric lenses, but I ordered these because I had heard good things about youknowit.com and figured worst case scenario I could stack these contacts over my prescription lenses. However, I received them in the mail today, and they fit perfectly without stacking or anything! This is the first pair of color contacts I have ever been able to wear successfully. I left them in for a couple of hours and they were comfortable the whole time. I am DEFINITELY going to be ordering more colors from this website and this brand for my other cosplays! By Tyler from Georgia 23 June 2011 Very Nice These are the best contacts I have worn, EVER!!! I constantly get told how natural they look. It's so amazing. By Snow from N.Y 25 January 2011 Love It!!!! Got the contacts today, super comfortable and they look great!!! |

The room and bathroom were very clean. The bed was comfortable, and my room even had a balcony.
The hotel has several buildings in the same area. I was disappointed to find out that, while my room was advertised as having complementary Wi-Fi, it was not available in my building. Also, the television was a small.

All of them except for the 2 tweeters on the pillars.... worked fine when I parked last night. This morning, nothing. Any ideas? Is there a fuse? HELP please!
There is fuses, check your fuse box that's between the dash and the door, pop off the cover and look at the diagram for speakers. there should also be a fuse on the back of the stereo itself. Try unplugging your battery and leaving it over night. I can't remember but there may a safety switch in it to prevent theft. Cannot remember.
This same thing has happened to me. Its almost like every 2nd or 3rd day the speakers will all work but the next day its just the tweeters again. I dont know what the heck is going on! Any help is appreciated!
My research has led me to believe that what actually happened is the passenger speakers have actually been out for a while - and perhaps the rear. I had noticed for a while that at certain times I my volume appeared to go up and down. I attributed it to radios that I have seen that get louder and softer with acceleration. What I now believe actually happened that day is that my front driver side speaker finally went out and I just finally noticed that they were out. I don't usually listen to the radio very loud, so I guess I just didn't notice. It now comes and goes. I ordered 4 new speakers and hope to install them this weekend.
My speakers did the same, they didn't just go out, they were "intermittent"...sometimes working, sometimes not. Eventually they blew. All four of my door speakers went out, one at a time. The two pillar tweeters are still going.
Replaced all four speakers and have been trouble free for a few weeks now. And the sound is much improved.
went with the Kenwood 6.5's. They were on clearance at Crutchfield so everything, including panel removal tool kit, was $70. Can't beat it!
:great: Sweet deal there! I actually had my door speakers replaced last year in Truck Norris, but they warrantied it... despite my having 15k miles more than i should have. ...it's good to know people haha.

Crow or Matusz, Matusz or Crow? That seems to be the question. Fortunately for comparison sake, the only similarity they really share is they are both studs.
I am not going to get into college numbers when comparing them, because most college numbers are useless. The fact that Matusz struck out 16 against San Fransisco really does no good in his future projection. Something I will bring up is the K/BB ratio because I feel it is important no matter what division or league a pitcher is in that they throw strikes and have dominating stuff; Matusz with a 71:15 ratio and Crow with a 67:11. But, Crow plays against better competition blah blah blah that it why I do not want to get into comparing college stats. They are both dominating the college ranks, enough said.

Coaxial fiber-optic chemical-sensing excitation–emission matrix fluorometer |
Optics Letters, Vol. 36, Issue 3, pp. 355-357 (2011)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (237 KB)
Great reductions in the overall size and complexity of high throughput multichannel UV–visible fluorometers were achieved by coupling a compact optical fiber array to compact dispersive transmission optics. The coaxial configuration centers on the insertion of a silica/silica optical fiber into the hollow region of a UV-fused silica capillary waveguide. The outer core delivers the maximum power of the narrow wavelength region of the excitation spectrum created by coupling a xenon arc discharge lamp to a compact spectrometer. The molecular fluorescence resulting from the interaction of light emitted at the distal end of the hollow waveguide and the sample matrix is received and transmitted to a CCD via a compact dispersive grating-prism (grism) optical assembly. A linear array of the coaxial optical fibers permits a full excitation–emission matrix spectrum of the analyte matrix to be projected onto the face of the CCD. The in situ identification and monitoring of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons was carried out for the initial application testing for this prototype.

New Delhi: Sony has launched the much-awaited Sony Xperia Z and Xperia ZL in India on Wednesday. The phones are priced at Rs 38,990 and Rs 36,990. Both phones will go on sale in India from March 12.
The Sony Xperia Z has a 5-inch full HD 1080p Reality Display, and is powered by a Snapdragon S4 Pro quad-core processor. Sony Xperia Z's Reality Display is powered by Mobile Bravia Engine 2. It sports a 13 megapixel camera.
According to Sony, the Xperia Z also includes Battery Stamina Mode that is said to improve the standby time by four times or more by automatically shutting down battery-draining apps whenever the screen is off and starting them up again when the screen is back on.
Both Sony Xperia Z and the Xperia ZL will go on sale in India from March 12.
Despite its slim 7.9 mm body, Xperia Z is said to be durable with tempered glass and anti-shatter film on the front and back. It is a dust-resistant and water-resistant smartphone. Sony said Vodafone users will get 8GB of free download for two months.
Sony's Xperia ZL delivers the same experiences as Xperia Z, but in a smaller form factor. Both Xperia Z and Xperia ZL will run Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) and will be upgraded to 4.2 shortly after launch for the latest Android user experience, said the company.
Sony Mobile also announced Katrina Kaif as the new brand ambassador for its Xperia range of phones. Sony also unveiled the new Xperia Z Tab in India. The tablet will go on sale in May.

Superior Germination Through Superior Science
Park Seed offers some of the highest-quality vegetable and flower seeds available in the industry, and there are a number of reasons for this.First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.
Superior Standards - University Inspected
To make sure we are providing the best seed product possible and that our customers will get the highest number of seedlings from every packet, we conduct our own germination testing and have quality-control measures in every stage of our seed-handling operation. We hold ourselves to standards that are at or above federal and state standards, including testing specific crops more frequently than recommended by federal guidelines. And in order to maintain our organic certification, we welcome Clemson University to inspect us annually to make sure our organic seeds, which are stored and processed separately, are being handled properly.
Hand Packed By Experienced Technicians
Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
And many of our seeds are packed in our exclusive Fresh-Pak gold foil packets, which are lined to keep moisture out, so the seeds stay fresher for longer. We carefully pack very tiny or fragile seeds in crush-proof vials to ensure safe delivery to your home. Some of the small seeds are also offered as "pellets" (have a clay coating) to make sowing and growing easier. When it comes to the kinds of seeds we offer, we are constantly seeking something new and provide many unique and hard-to-find varieties from all around the world. Our on-staff horticulturists are ready and available to share their expertise to help you with the success of these seeds, so you can grow a beautiful and productive garden!
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.

2 comments of which 2 are resolved
The MathML for CSS Profile Last Call draft has received two comments. One is an endorsement, the other some initial suggestions that do not have an impact on the present document.
We itemize the comments received and the Math WG responses. The new Profile seems has received no objections and general support from the community. This may result from the fact that a profile and an associated CSS stylesheet are difficult to fault since they actually work.

Response: | None needed |
Discussion: | Just to close the loop: The CSS WG has no comments on http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-mathml-for-css-20091006/ |
Resolution: | An endorsement from the CSS WG.
Summary: | Initial thoughts re. XSL-FO |
Submitted: | Liam Quin,
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-math/2009Nov/0000.html |
Response: | None needed |
Discussion: | [These comments have not yet been discussed with the XSL-FO Task Force of the XSL Working Group, and should be taken as a personal heads-up and not a formal comment requiring a Working Group response] Lots of good stuff in the MathML draft. And some very clear and honest writing. For XSL-FO 2.0, people have requested (1) include MathML directly, e.g. having math:math markup directly inside an fo:inline element I don't think any work is needed from MathML for this. (2) Allow such embedded mathematics to inherit CSS properties such as width, font, text size etc from the surrounding XSL-FO document. The MathML 3 draft does move in this direction, but the XSL-FO WG may request more. It might be that, e.g. a joint WG Note could satisfy this, without normative changes to the MathML spec itself. (3) I think that putting fragments of XSL-FO markup inside equations, where mathtext is allowed now, is also desired -- I'm sure that we could live with a lot of restrictions on this, and until we hear from XSL-FO implementors it's premature of us to ask for it, but since you're at Last Call I wanted to give you the idea that we might ask for it. An example is a list of expressions rather like "case" notation for mathematics, with large curly braces or other fences, and perhaps a bulleted list or sequence of paragraphs inside. These are exactly the things we discussed informally in a joint meeting a year ago, so it doesn't look like we're going to be gaining requirements. We are working on non-rectangular paragrahs/regions/blocks, but my personal opinion (since we have not discussed it) is that a restriction that embedded content must always be rectangular would be just fine in practice.

Resolution: | Self-closing: some helpful suggestions
for later action as the XSL-FO work proceeds.

They spoke to Soap Opera Weekly about new developments on the series:
Soap Opera Weekly: Starr has been rude lately, especially to Langston. What's with that?
Kristen Alderson: Best friends always have arguments. Starr prefers things her way.
Weekly: Like her parents?
Alderson: Sort of like them (laughs). Also, she's so close with Cole and loves him so much. If another girl says she knows what Cole would do it's like, "No! You don't know what Cole would do, I know what Cole would do." It was, "Don't act like you know him better than me." She was being very protective.
Brittany Underwood: It was kind of harsh, some of the things Starr was saying. Especially after everything that Langston has done for Starr, the blows were a little below the belt. I understand why she was upset. All Starr wants to do is help and be there. There's not so much that Starr can do, because Langston knows more about (losing a parent). Starr hates not being able to relate or understand the way Langston can understand Cole.
Weekly: Cole and Langston are headed for grief counseling. How was that?
Underwood: It was weird. It was a small group of people. I was nervous to have only a handful of kids in this small circle, all looking at me. It felt like we were really there, like we really had to share this with people we didn't know in this small space. It's a little scary. Brandon did an excellent job with his speech. I think it went well.
Weekly: How does Cole like the grief sessions?
Brandon Buddy: He had to do it when his dad died, so he has kind of the upper hand on the whole situation. But what kid wants to sit there after a parent dies and talk about it with a bunch of their peers? It is just not a situation most people want to be in.

text: Depok Education Agency gave assurances on Tuesday that rape victim, SAS, could continue studying at the school that reportedly expelled her following media reports that she had been held captive and raped by a man she met via the social networking website Facebook."We will monitor this case and make sure that SAS is allowed to come to school. We will also check on her psychological state. For the time being, as she is still refusing to go to school, teachers will come to her house," said the agency's interim head Muhammad Nurdin.He made the statement after mediation with the principal of the private junior high school in Depok, which was observed by councilor Lilis Latifah, the deputy speaker of Depok Council's Commission D overseeing educational affairs, and Yobelni Batubara, an advocate at the National Commission on Child Protection. The 14-year-old girl reportedly came to school on Monday to sit the mid-semester examination after a one-month absence following her traumatic ordeal. School began with a flag-hoisting ceremony in which a member of staff of the school foundation mentioned the case in a speech and said that the school "could no longer accept a student that has tarnished the school's image".When SAS entered the classroom, a teacher told her to pack her things and leave the school. Meanwhile, her mother received a call from the school telling her to come and meet the principal. But when she arrived, the mother claimed, the principal ignored her and left the room.The teenager refused to return to school as of Tuesday.The principal said that the incident on Monday was "a misunderstanding".She said that the school called the girl's parents so she could meet with the teacher and gave a formal explanation of why the third-year student could not attend class for a month."Since she went missing, the parents never said anything to the school. There was no coordination whatsoever. We heard that she had returned home and yesterday she showed up at school. It is natural for us to ask some questions," the principal said.During the mediation she insisted that there was no expulsion.Yobelni, however, suggested the school should take responsibility for providing advocacy for SAS if she returned to school.She also made the principal sign an agreement that the school would not discriminate against any student and expel them from the premises."There should be a written agreement to make sure that similar incidents don't happen again," Yobelni said.The mother of the girl said that the mediation helped to alleviate her concerns about her daughter's future. "Thank you for keeping my daughter at school. But she was humiliated in front of her schoolmates when she was told to pack her things and leave. She said she couldn't see them again after what happened."I was thinking about moving her to another school to help her get peace of mind," she told reporters.SAS had been reported missing following meeting up with Den Gilang, alias Yugi, who befriended mostly minors on Facebook, on Sept. 23. In her statement to the police, she said she was raped by Yugi who forced her to have sex with other men under the influence of alcohol. She said Yugi told her that she was about to be sold to someone in Batam, Riau Islands. She was dropped off at Depok terminal after media reports of her disappearance.Bogor Police suspect the man, who is a repeat offender, belongs to a human trafficking syndicate. The suspect and his accomplices are still at large.

ISOE provides a forum for radiation protection professionals from nuclear electricity utilities and national regulatory authorities worldwide to share dose reduction information and operational experience to improve the optimisation of worker radiological protection at nuclear power plants. ISOE provides its members with:
ISOE was launched in 1992 by the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) to improve the management of occupational exposures at nuclear power plants through the collection and analysis of occupational exposure data and trends, and through the exchange of lessons learned among utility and national regulatory authority experts. Since 1993, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has co-sponsored the ISOE programme, thus allowing the participation of utilities and authorities from non-NEA member countries.
ISOE participation includes nuclear electricity utilities and national regulatory authorities who participate under the ISOE Terms and Conditions. Official participants include (as of March 2015):
ISOE operates in a decentralised manner. A management board of representatives from all participating countries, supported by the joint NEA and IAEA Secretariat, provides overall direction. Four ISOE technical centres (Europe, North America, Asia and IAEA) manage the programme's day-to-day technical operations. National co-ordinators in each country serve as contact points for the transfer of information from and to participants.
ISOE is jointly sponsored by the NEA and IAEA.
ISOE Terms and Conditions (2012-2015)
Built on a global network of radiation protection professionals from nuclear electricity utilities and national regulatory authorities, ISOE provides the world's most comprehensive source of experience, information and data for occupational exposure management at nuclear power plants. ISOE provides an operational experience base for identification and assessment of good practices and facilitates the input of operational experience into the development of radiological protection recommendations, standards, etc.
ISOE facilitates global cooperation between utilities, the sharing of experience and the building of linkages between ISOE regions to develop a global approach to ALARA exposure management. ISOE offers its members a variety of relevant resources, including:

Conflicts |
The Khoikhoi–Dutch Wars were a series of conflicts that took place in the last half of the 17th century in what was known then as the Cape of Good Hope (today it refers to a smaller geographic spot), in the area of present-day Cape Town, South Africa, between Dutch settlers who came from the Netherlands and the local African people, the most prominent being the Khoikhoi who had lived in that part of the world for millennia.
The arrival of the permanent settlements of the Dutch, under the Dutch East India Company, at the Cape of Good Hope in 1652 brought them into the land of the local people, such as the Khoikhoi (called Hottentots by the Dutch), the Khoisan, Griqua, Bushmen (also known as the San), and some Bantu peoples of South Africa. While the Dutch traded with the Khoikhoi, nevertheless serious disputes broke out over land ownership and livestock. This resulted in attacks and counter-attacks by both sides which were known as the Khoikhoi–Dutch Wars that ended in the eventual defeat of the Khoikhoi (who also succumbed to the diseases that the White settlers brought, such as measles and smallpox.) The First Khoikhoi-Dutch War took place in 1659, the second in 1673, the third 1674 - 1677.[1]
First Khoikhoi-Dutch War[edit]
In 1659 the first of a series of armed confrontations over the ownership of land took place between the Dutch settlers and a Khoikhoi clan led by Doman. The dispute was over cattle. In this first anti-colonial Khoikhoi-Dutch War the settlers sought refuge in the fort they had built. The Dutch then erected a series of fortified fences along the Liesbeeck River and an almond hedge in present day Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden to separate the Khoikhoi from their ancestral land and from the Dutch. The Khoikhoi were thus restricted in their movement and were forced to use designated gates when entering the enclosed and fortified areas.[1]
Second Khoikhoi-Dutch War[edit]
In 1673 exploratory excursions by the Dutch into the interior north of the colony, revealed fertile grazing land to the northeast of the Hottentots-Hollands Mountains, which belonged to the Chainoqua, Hessequa,Quana,Cochoqua and Gouriqua Khoikhoi chiefdoms. These Khoikhoi tribes had large herds of livestock and were willing to engage in trade with the Dutch. However, the Dutch terms of trade result in warfare and raiding of livestock, as well as between the Khoikhoi chiefdoms. The Dutch East India Company sent Hieronymous Cruse in 1673 to attack the Cochoqua, who were at the time led by the chief Gonnema. The attack was executed on horseback and marked the beginning of the Second Dutch-Khoikhoi War. The Dutch took approximately 1800 head of livestock.[1]
Third Khoikhoi-Dutch War[edit]
In 1674 the Dutch East India Company launched a second follow-up attack on the Chocoqua. In that Third Dutch-Khoikhoi War almost 5000 head of livestock in addition to weapons were taken from the Chocoqua. The war continued until 1677 when Governor Bax extracted the submission of the Chocoqua to Dutch rule that was expressed in an annual tribute of thirty head of cattle. That submission paved the way for Dutch colonial expansion into the land of the Khoikhoi.[1]
Some modern scholars have observed that superior war-making ability was not the only means whereby the Dutch forced the Khoikhoi to submit and concluded that:
In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries European settlers ousted the Khoikhoi and San from much of the land they inhabited in south-western Africa using a strategic combination of technology and bureaucracy. The settlers possessed a powerful new fighting technology in the form of firearms and horses that enabled them to hold and defend lands taken from the Khoikhoi. The Dutch East India Company legitimised settler occupation of Khoikhoi land by granting them exclusive use of lands they acquired in freehold or on loan. The settlers took advantage of this permissive policy and their connection to the Cape Town bureaucracy to acquire choice watered land in the interior. These lands and the water resources and pasture they contained were denied to the Khoikhoi pastoralists who found it increasingly difficult to sustain themselves in a land in which access to limited water resources was necessary for survival. In a slow, non-catastrophic process the Khoikhoi were gradually squeezed out of the lands they had once occupied as European settlers alienated the springs and permanent water courses. The survivors of this process often became clients of European settlers and applied their skills in animal husbandry to the invaders' livestock instead of their own.[2]
